Papua New Guinea Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Papua New Guinea company register data is public through the IPA Online Registry, run by the Investment Promotion Authority under the Companies Act 1997, with entity and shareholder details searchable directly at ipa.gov.pg. Not yet: no standalone UBO register exists, though the IPA collects 'know your shareholder' information at incorporation under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Act 2015. A 25% ownership threshold was proposed in the IPA's own September 2025 consultation on Companies Act amendments but has not yet been enacted into law. Ownership beyond what the Companies Act 1997 register shows at formation currently has no dedicated public UBO filing to draw from.
